January 12, 2017: CIGAR CITY BREWING ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION TO TENNESSEE

Tampa FL: Cigar City Brewing has announced the seventh state in its distribution lineup, adding Tennessee to the list. According to Cigar City Brewing: 

This marks the first new state to receive deliveries of Cigar City’s award-winning beer in over four years. CCB will be partnering with Nashville’s Lipman Brothers Distributing, serving Middle Tennessee including the cities of Nashville, Chattanooga and Knoxville. Twelve-ounce cans of Jai Alai IPA, Maduro Brown Ale, Florida Cracker Belgian-style White Ale, Invasion Pale Ale and Tampa-Style Lager can currently be found in this new market, with draft beer to follow shortly behind. "It’s been a long time coming but for the first time in many years, we’re able to introduce a brand new market to our Tampa-inspired ales and lagers,” says CCB’s El Lector, Neil Callaghan. “Tennessee’s beer community is one that’s educated and excited about new and innovative craft beer, so the decision to expand to the Volunteer State was an easy one. Lipman Brothers’ talented team has been bringing Tennessee the world’s finest craft beer for years and their commitment to putting the freshest product into beer lover’s hands matches our own commitment to brewing the most innovative, highest quality products.” 

CCB representatives, including COO Justin Clark and Neil Callaghan, will be on hand during launch events in Nashville scheduled for January 16-20.  Cigar City views these events as "incredible opportunities for Tennessee’s craft beer fans to enjoy some of the first CCB beer to be shipped to the state and to learn about Cigar City Brewing’s brand and its award winning beer from the people who know it best."

Cheers,
